I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Our daughter Hilsa joined Sawsan's Daycare since September 2017. She has improved SO much in the past year in the caring hands of Sawsan and Salah (Sawsan's husband). First of all, Sawsan kept her place very organized and clean, so that kids rarely get sick at all. Hilsa only got sick once in the past year at Sawsan's. They shampoo their carpets at least once a week. I am amazed at how clean they are! Before joining Sawsan's Daycare, Hilsa was in a daycare center between the age of 6 months to 2 years old, and she was sick every other week at that daycare center. There were too many germs from a large number of kids, and cross infections are very common. We also don't like that teachers at the daycare center changed so rapidly, by the time that the kids get used to a teacher, soon after they get another new teacher, which is very hard for kids to adjust. My husband and I constantly need to take days off to look after the sick child. It was very time consuming and financially costly. We are very happy with Sawsan's Daycare on how clean their facility was inside the house, and in their backyard playground. The small student to teacher ratio (5:1) made a huge difference as well on the kids. Hilsa is well loved by her teachers and classmates. She is always happy, and often doesn't want to leave when we pick her up. Second, Sawsan is a amazing cook. She prepares delicious nutritious foods for the kids everyday. Hilsa loves the food at school so much that sometimes she doesn't want to eat what I made at home, which is great, since I am not a good cook anyway. Many times when I went pick up my daughter, I smelled the awesome delicious aroma in the house and really hope that I was invited for dinner. It's that good! Third, Salah reads to the kids every morning after breakfast and in the afternoon after nap. They do morning circles and talk about the calendar, eg. month, date, day of the week, weather. Hilsa has developed a great interest in reading books, and she would even do quiet readings on her own at home. Hilsa also learned all her alphabets, colors, shapes, and numbers 1-10 in the past year at Sawsan's Daycare. They have many educational toys for the kids to play, such as puzzles, big legos, kitchen, cars, etc. Kids can always find something they would like to play with. Sawsan also taught the kids some simple yoga moves, and Hilsa enjoys that as well. We are very glad to see Hilsa's improvements while at Sawsan's. We were very lucky to have Sawsan and Salah to be Hilsa's teachers. They prepared Hilsa so well for the upcoming Pre-K program in the fall. We highly recommend Sawsan's Daycare to our friends and anyone in the neighborhood.

My husband and I are so grateful to have found Sawsan and Salah! They have watched our son Teddy since he was 4 months old. They made my transition back to work easier than I could have imagined. Our son Teddy looks forward to seeing them every morning and has a huge smile on his face when we walk up to the door. They take such great care of our son and the communication they provide is unmatched. They provide the kids with a safe, clean, fun environment for the kids to learn and explore. They have lots of toys, books, and educational activities and encourage outside play and music time. The kids at the daycare are very lucky to have the most delicious healthy food to eat. I am amazed with the level of professionalism and care that my son receives. They truly love each and every child. We feel blessed to have our son in their care and could not have asked for anything more.

You will not find a better family-run daycare..anywhere.  It was pure luck that I found Sawsan's Daycare and I am so thankful I did. I recommend them to everyone.  My children thrived at this daycare and we were so sad to leave when we moved.  Sawsan and Salah cprovide the most wonderful, loving, caring, enriching environment.  We couldn't have asked for more.  Your child will be safe, loved and learning while at this day care... not to mention will be eating food that is homemade and delicious!!  Where else will your child eat eggplant, spinach, rice, chicken, okra...and actually like it AND ask for more!!  I can't say enough about this daycare.  Try them, you won't be disappointed.
